But he couldn't snatch it away now. There were two adults and six children.

"Wow wow wow..." Zhao Xiaowu, who had faced the reality, cried even louder when he saw the food in front of him but couldn't eat it, with tears and saliva streaming down his face.

Cheng Zhenzhu listened to the wailing sound, turned her head to the little fat boy, curled her lips and said, "If you cry again, I will beat you."

She has patience with good kids, but not with naughty ones.

Zhao Xiaowu saw the person who pulled his mother's arm staring at him with a wicked smile, and was so scared that he hiccuped loudly. Then he held back his tears and sobbed, "burp, hiccup", louder and louder, which was more noticeable than the previous crying.

It was really depressing. Cheng Zhenzhu rubbed her temples and felt a slight pain in her head. She really thought the crying of the naughty child was the most disturbing noise.

Cheng Zhenzhu stood up and handed a bag of shredded squid to Qian Dawei, then picked up two and chewed them slowly herself. As for the sobbing little fat boy, let him watch! She hadn't missed the fierce look the little fat boy had given the twins just now...

The brothers Lu Jianxian and Lu Siqi were already hungry, and since the peach cakes were delicious, after taking a bite, they gradually sped up their eating and started to eat voraciously.

Cheng Zhenzhu told them to eat slowly and not choke. Even now that she had the two children, she wasn't completely relieved. Firstly, she was still worried about the situation with the educated youth, Gu, and the others, and secondly, she was worried about the poor treatment the two children had been receiving.

At first, the two children's faces were dirty, so I couldn't see them clearly. Now that they were clean, I noticed some bruises. These weren't scratches from when Gu Zhiqing was taking care of them, but rather the appearance of these last two months...

A shadow crossed Cheng Zhenzhu's eyes. Since this family had accepted the money, they should have done something humane. Give them a good meal and a warm bed. Leaving them cold and hungry and then beating them like this—wasn't that humane?

Qian Dawei watched from the side and felt that he had come to understand. No wonder his sister-in-law wrote to Cheng's wife asking her to help pick up the child. He was still far from having a child.

Mrs. Cheng was a thoughtful woman, remembering to bring food and clothes for the children, speaking softly and attentively, meticulously caring for them. Just look at how thin she was once, now tall and strong. Unlike him, who arrived empty-handed and even yelled, startling his two nephews...

That's fine, Cheng's wife used one hand to subdue the other person, and he was just a bunch of muscle, which was useless...

"Jianxian, Siqi, do you still remember Uncle Dawei? He held you in his arms during last year's Chinese New Year." After chewing two pieces of squid, Qian Dawei looked at his two little nephews with some anticipation.

The twins grabbed the peach cakes and shook their heads, left and right, their movements identical. In addition to unfamiliarity with Qian Dawei, there was actually a hint of wariness in their two pairs of black eyes.

Why is this happening? Qian Dawei looked at his two nephews with a somewhat hurt expression. "Do you remember Aunt Pearl?"

"Aunt Spider, donkey shreds~ Mom said, remember..." Lu Siqi chewed the delicious squid shreds and thought for a while.

Cheng Zhenzhu: What the hell is Aunt Spider?... But no wonder the two kids don't reject her; it turns out they remember her. Actually, it's been almost three years since little Gu Zhiqing followed Comrade Lu to Caoshi. We usually only exchange letters, not often...

So his Jiamu brothers must not have said much about him in front of his two nephews! Qian Dawei quickly came to this conclusion.

"The water is ready. Prepare the rest yourself, I don't have anything here!" About twenty minutes later, Liu Xiaofang came out of the kitchen.

She was furious, but there was no one in the room to give her a hard time. She could only start and put out the fire herself.

What a heartless bunch of robbers! They treated this place like their own, eating and drinking the best food themselves, yet they didn't even bother to give her son Xiao Wu a bit, making her son Xiao Wu drool over it all... Liu Xiaofang cursed inwardly, then glared twice. She wished she could just smack these people down with her eyes.

Cheng Zhenzhu glanced at the woman, took her clothes, asked the others and Comrade Dawei to stay and continue eating the shredded squid, and then told the two children to take a bath.

Liu Xiaofang felt uncomfortable after being glanced at. What's wrong? She boiled some water for me, which was good enough. You still want her to give you something? You're dreaming! You'd better take a shower and leave quickly, walk away, and don't let her see you again!

The two Lu brothers nodded subconsciously, slipped off the kang, folded the blanket, and then raised their feet to follow. A few others gathered around the kang to study it. This was the first time they had seen a bed that could heat up like this...

"Sit down for a moment, I'll clean the bathtub first." There was a dusty bathtub in the kitchen. Cheng Zhenzhu cleaned it thoroughly and scooped half a pot of water.

The two brothers Lu Jianxian and Lu Siqi sat obediently and looked at Cheng Zhenzhu.

"Who wants to shower first?" It was freezing outside in Liaohai City, but warm at home. The kitchen had a large kang (stove-heated bed) with heat flowing directly into the house. The warmth inside the house also warmed the kitchen. Plus, having just burned firewood, Cheng Zhenzhu actually felt a bit warm...

The two brothers blinked at each other and held hands, unwilling to separate.

"Then let's go together." Anyway, it's warm in the kitchen, so we don't have to worry about the cold... "Auntie will help you take off your clothes?"

"I can make a pot." As he said that, the twin brother Lu Siqi buried his head in taking off his tattered clothes.

Lu Jianxian also took the initiative. After taking off his clothes, the two brothers looked at the naked body and hugged each other shyly.

Cheng Zhenzhu smiled, stuffed the two little ones into the tub, and gave them a good scrub. She took the soap and rubbed it over the two brothers, creating a lot of bubbles. The water was black.

Don't tell her she hasn't showered in two months...

The two brothers were a little embarrassed when they saw the dirty bath water. But they didn't know how to wash, and the bad woman didn't help them wash, and she even pinched them, so they just hid away...

Cheng Zhenzhu changed the water and used the remaining half pot of water to wash the two children again. During the bath, the two children were very well behaved, raising their hands and feet when asked, their big eyes occasionally glancing at her. She looked at the two little ones, washed them, dried them, and put clothes on them one by one.

They wrapped the two children in underwear, sweaters, cotton vests, and thick cotton jackets until they were as round as a few strips. They were leaving soon, and it was cold outside in Liaohai City, so they had to change into their thickest clothes.

These two coats were made for Six Tiao when he was a little over a year old. They were made especially for him to go back to Hai City. They were still about 60% new and very warm. The sweaters were made by Zhao Fangrui for Three Tiao and Six Tiao. They were too small for Tiao now, but they were perfect for the two children...

"Clothes, beautiful." Lu Siqi was particularly interested in the corduroy jacket with two pandas embroidered on the outside. He touched it left and right, and there was a joyful light in his bright black eyes.

Lu Jianxian looked at the kitten on his clothes and couldn't help but touch the little animal on his brother's body with a curious look. He had planned to say something, but forgot everything.
